Hope I am doing this correctly. I mostly "lurk", but love reading everyone's posts. I'm having a rough time really seeing the difference my weight loss has made (besides feeling so much better). I thought I'd post some pictures to give myself a reality check.

I started South Beach and exercise 2/07.

Sizes down from 26w to a 16 bottom and Lg/xl top. So weird to train myself to get out of the women's department.

So I've lost 60 pounds and figured I need to mark the occasion with pictures to remind myself that there actually is a difference here.... (first two pictures are around June/July 07.. and the last two are now). My face is coming back... now I'm working on a waist Still a long way to go!

well, I had lost 100 lbs. at one point...slowly creeping back up...
Thought I'd post my b4 & after pics to give myself a little boost again...been back on SBD 4 weeks, & down 13 lbs. already...30 to go to get where I am in this after pic, but I will do it!...nice to meet you all.

Well, deep breath, this feels really scary, but I think I'll post some progress pics. Like others, it was difficult to find any befores. It's bittersweet to do this, lots of thoughts running through my head. Feels great to have lost the weight, thank goodness I'm not as fat as I was, but jeez, I was really heavy, and obviously I have a ways left to go. Well, here goes, for someone who hates to have pictures taken, this is a big leap...
The first one is last April, 246 lbs.Gab's Party - Mama .jpg
The second, with the girls, is in July. I had lost 10 lbs., so 236.Lolo, Gab & Diane at Washington Mnmt.jpg
The last was taken Dec. 8, 200 lbs even, 45 lbs. lostDianeresized5.jpg

My plan is to take pictures when I hit each of my goals. The first one was 225, I hit that this weekend so I took a set of pictures. Thought I would share the progress. I still have a long way to go but it's coming off. The side shot of my current weight is in the pants I wore at my heaviest.

I did this because I was feeling low and that I really wasn't changing sizes. I think I look thinner in the face - of course, I don't see it in the rest of the body but that's okay. It made me feel better.

I went to an annual conference.. and people didnt recognize me from last year! I had several of them re-introduce themselves lol... I just rolled my eyes at people saying I looked really different. but side by side I see it too. (I've posted pics before... so please humour me with yet another one)
